Title:	CUPS < 2.0.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities
Summary:	Various versions of CUPS are vulnerable;to a privilege escalation due to a memory management error.
Description:	Summary: Various versions of CUPS are vulnerable to a privilege escalation due to a memory management error. Vulnerability Insight: CVE-2015-1158: An issue with how localized strings are handled in cupsd allows a reference counter to over-decrement when handling certain print job request errors. As a result, an attacker can prematurely free an arbitrary string of global scope, creating a dangling pointer to a repurposed block of memory on the heap. The dangling pointer causes ACL verification to fail when parsing 'admin/conf' and 'admin' ACLs. The ACL handling failure results in unrestricted access to privileged operations, allowing an unauthenticated remote user to upload a replacement CUPS configuration file and mount further attacks. CVE-2015-1159: A cross-site scripting bug in the CUPS templating engine allows this bug to be exploited when a user browses the web. In certain cases, the CGI template can echo user input to file rather than escaping the text first. This may be used to set up a reflected XSS attack in the QUERY parameter of the web interface help page. By default, many linux distributions run with the web interface activated, OS X has the web interface deactivated by default. Vulnerability Impact: CVE-2015-1158 may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker access to privileged operations on the CUPS server. CVE-2015-1159 may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary javascript in a user's browser. Affected Software/OS: CUPS < 2.0.3 Solution: A patch addressing these issues has been released for all supported versions of CUPS. For the version 2.0 branch (the latest release), 2.0.3 contains the patch. CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
